So, as far the whole mixed reviews, Kam take a stand on it do you feel the actual power or like you posted before is it just sounds better also with the gas mileage comp, are you actually getting that mileage or is it the display telling you? cuz my display bull****s me

Kam, nice choice with CAI, let me know how it works out for you.

Dang I have all these ideas and parts piling up but no time/warm weather to install it. Hopefully soon.

Are you going to wrap the fujita too?

Car pulls better at midrange I cant verify power cause only a week earlier I got a y-pipe.

Now Taz told me the y-pipe is supposed to decrease mileage slightly which it did at first. But now the mileage is better then I'v ever had it before.

Butt dyno says yeah

Better mileage, smoother power band, nice evil roar, I stand behind this thing

The foil wrap is great for track use, it totaly prevents the heatsoak from the engine bay, but for day to day use it kills asthetics. So I'm getting the fujita cause it looks sharkp and I want to clean up my engine bay

But, on the VQ, any air disruption will most probably reduce the air flow. There is a reason those CAI have a smooth bend. The aluminum foil wrap was a much better investment IMO.
Yeah....... but it also increases the volume of the upper plenum. When those spacer gaskets are done for the VQ plenum i will be installing them also. Skunk makes thease parts also and they add significant gains to the 350Z.

I showed the Deus the link last night but I cant find it.

The TB spacer I am making is match perfectly to the Elbow. So it is just like extending the Elbow by a 1/4". Your bolts might be long enough to install both spacers at the same time.

This is driving at 100kph, or 61mph for 85km.

If this is for real, i cant believe it.

Don't trust the computer. When you get a new tank of gas, divide the miles you have driven on that tank by the number of gallons it took to fill 'er up.

Yeap. Yesterday, I received the prototype spacers for the 5.5 gen. They are BEAUTIFUL!!! I will test fit them and fully test them on a 2002 Maxima 6spd. As soon as the 5.5 gen product is tested, then I will develop them to work with the EGR system on the 6th gen.
